How to install Android over existing Android ? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi,
I have HD2 with Android installed. But I don't know how to upgrade to new version of Android (cannot establish ActiveSync connection). Any kind of help will be appreciated !

if you use CWM, you can use CWM to format the internal flash and install new android via CWM.

i don't have CWM, sorry.
What else can I do ?

hi,
You must have activesync on your XP computer or the latest WMDC software drivers on your windows 7 PC in order for the USB to establish a connection.

Hi, I don't have Win Mobile 6.5 on HD2 so it is impossible to establish ActiveSync connection. I have *Android* on HD2, and cannot upgrade it because I don't have CWM.
So, what can I do ? I probably need to isntall WinMobile again don't I ?

Hi,
No ,you do not need to re-install WM 6.5
How did you get android on your phone?
You must have CWM to install ANDROID.
What computer operating system have you got?
What android ROM are you running?
What ROM do you want to upgrade to?

If you havr activeSync (WMDC) then it has the drivers to see the hd2.. all you have to do is get a CWM android rom and CWM recovery, restart go into MAGLDR and go to usb flasher then run the cwmrecovery exe to flash it dan restart and go into recovery and install the rom zip.. if its the Clk(native android bootloader) download a rom for that an you must have android sdk to use fastboot and flash that rom...
Which bootloader do you have?

One other thing...underneath it all, the HD2 is a Windows phone, with a serious hack to make it possible to run many other systems. So, from the SPL (hold Volume Down key and press the Power button) you will always boot into the SPL -- you have the H (hard) flavor of SPL or you couldn't have put Android on the phone.
In the SPL, you can always communicate with your phone using ActiveSync (on Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) from Vista or Win 7.
If this doesn't make sense, feel free to PM me with info like what ROM you are currently using, etc.

Normally if you have MAGLDR you can boot into that by holding down the start button until the MGLDR menu appears and toggle down to option 5 USB Flasher.
(If you had Clock Work Mod then you would choose option 8 to get into AD recovery to flash the ROM from your SD.)
Then you just run the DAF.exe as the administrator of the DAF ROM you have downloaded and it will load onto your NAND.
Don't fear if you cannot get into your android bootloader then you can make a USB connection by connecting your phone to your PC and restarting your phone while holding down the down volume key which will take you to your tri colored boot-loader screen, while you are there check that you have HSPL 2.08, then down the bottom you should see USB which means you now have an active connection with your PC.
Just follow the below instruction on how to upgrade an existing ROM using MGLDR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
You need to have HSPL 2.08, Radio that supports 576 RAM and MAGLDR 1.13
If you want to learn how to run one via CWM and your SD there is a link in the above link explaining how that works.

Help! Stuck with Windows Energy ROM on my HD2 Leo !

Hi, I have installed HSPL and attempted to load android on my HD2 Leo phone with the latest version. Once to Flashed the ROM my phone booted to a very basic Windows Mobile Energy O/S which keeps trying to boot to android. Once it starts booting android I just get a blank screen and everything freezes.
I am trying to restore my original O/S but even when I do a hard reset it still loads up Windows Energy. If I try and flash my original Windows Mobile ROM HSPL loads on the screen but it gives me a USB error connections.
So basically, Im stuck with this basic Windows Mobile Energy. Can anyone help (step-by-step if possible) with how I can restore the original Windows Mobile ROM onto my HD2 Leo. This problem is really stressing me out!!!
Thank you so much!
You should really make sure you know what your doing before you do it.
Ok, first check on your bootloader screen to make sure your device has hspl installed correctly.
download the normal windows mobile rom for your device, put your device in bootloader mode and connect it to the pc using the usb cable.
Run the ruu program.
When I load up the HSPL screen and connect through USB it just gives me a USB connection error. That's part of the problem
I am getting the same error too..Did any find got a solution for this????/
flash rom from SD card be easier if ur having USB problems,
yes try flashing the phone from the micro sd card but you need to use a smaller size card like a 1GB or so. enter bootloader and the flash will automatically start.
have you tried a hard reset?
You can find the method in here!

[Q] activesync not recognizing phone after loading MAGLDR 1.11

Im in the process of loading the steps for the NAND Android ROM and right after i loaded the MAGLDR 1.11 my active synce stopped working. Now i can't load NAND Android ROM cause my computer wont recognize my phone by activesync.
All my phone says whenever i turn it on is:
Android Flasher Mode
Wait USB...USB
Does anyone have any idea what i can do to fix it. forgive me im a newb.

i have the same problem here!!
Guys pls help
The usb message your seeing means it is connected by usb. You should be able to continue. Not sure activesync recognises magldr.

Im sorry if im wrong but ofcourse your phone wont get regonized by active sync anymore because you took off windows mobile from your phone when you installed nand. Just be paitence when u connect your phone to your computer and it will deffently get regonized and you will be ready to flash new roms.

When you see this usb...usb you are connected.
Now right click daf.exe or android inastaller.exe or whatever the name and choose "run as administrator" and the install should start
read the second link in my signature
It says it is connected but when I run as admin it says usb init failure. What do I do then?

I saw a few posts about this problem. The fix is to reflash HSPL and load Magldr again.

Not able to make a usb connection to the phone when in Magldr
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (723)
Go to the Activesync icon in the bottom right corner, right click on it and untick the option "Allow usb connections" and then connect the device again. Run daf.exe (or install.exe) as administrator by right clicking on it and selecting the option (if using Windows7 or Vista). Hopefully the usb drivers will then install and the Android Rom will flash.
Another option could be to uninstall and reinstall Activesync or to try different usb ports on your pc. If that doesnt work and you have Windows XP then you need to try on a machine with Vista or Windows 7.
If none of this works then try taking out your micro SD Card and repeating the process or flash a Custom Rom before you flash Magldr rather than a Stock Rom.
Lastly you could try starting the NAND installer with the phone unplugged and then plugged the phone in. The installer should immediately detect your device and proceed to flash.

Got a HD2. Now im confused

Hey guys,
today i got me a HD2. Bought it on ebay and now i want to flash NAND Android on it.
Im a bit confused. the HD2 is running WMo right now and i want to have it running Cyanogenmod.
do i get that order right?
1.) Flash HardSPL 2.08
2.) Flash Radio 2.08xx
3.) Flash Magldr 1.12
4.) Flash Clockworkmod
5.) Flash Cyanogenmod
ive read that i have to have hardspl 1.42.0000 before flashing 2.08.
How can i check that?
on the one hand ive read that i need to install the drivers via windows update but ive also read that i need to install activesync??
which is the right Radio for me? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787) i have a German O2 512mb HD2
thanks for your help
First you need to make sure that there is a fully charged battery (it doesn't have to be but it helps).
Boot up into Bootloader mode (press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button). You will see a four colour screen with the word 'Serial' at the bottom. On the screen you wil see SPL. As long as it is not 3.03 then you don't have to flash a non 3.14 ROM.
Now connect to your PC (you don't need activesync of WMDC, especially if you are going to run it as an Android phone). The 'Serail' will change to 'USB'. Run HSPL2 and select 2.08.HSPL
The phone will reboot. Again switch it on in Bootloader mode and connect to your computer. Download the 2.15.50 RADIO and run it (just tick the box about activesync).
Now you are ready to start the Android ROM flashing.
If you're using XP I suggest downloading ActiveSync because if you don't when you're running the DAF.exe file when flashing you'll keep getting this "DAPI.dll" error. That's only if you're using Windows XP though.

1. Download any WM 6.5 ROM for your phone you like,
2. power off your phone,
3. power it on while holding vol-down button (you should see 4-colour "matress"),
4. connect hd2 with usb cable to your desktop PC, run WM6.5 flasher.
5. Done... ))
i do that but the flasher says this after it recognize the phone and start flashing it stops and says this error{226} the update utility cannot get response from your PDA phone. please check that your ubs craddle/cable is connected properly between the pc and your pda phone and also check your pda phone.

Try this one.

For custom rom. try this.

I flash my hd2 using energy rom dinik. with radio 2.12.50.02_2.
So far I have not encountered any bug like freezing of lcd.
Thanks NRGZ28 for the rom and PG101 for the detailed instructions to install custom rom to my phone.
Yeh I would recomend NRG wm6.5 roms too, best wm6.5.3 experience available & it works perfect.
Try flashing via sd & check you current HSPL & radio are suitable too ...
yeah im actually trying to flash a wm6 from NGR but then again this phone have nand android installed and when i try to flash the wm6 ruu the flasher stops at 0% and says that the phone its not connected, after it showed it did before i pressed next, do i need any kind of drivers?
i have ht drivers from my sensation are they the same? i am a total noob for this phone and i dont like the ics thats why i wanna go stock while i learn little by little how to do things with it.
Flash via SD card method is probably way to go but take care with radio versions if a TMOUS HD2 or you will brick it.
You could install ActiveSync if XP or WMDC6.1 for Vista/W7 as it has drivers.
you can do a factory reset which should fix the problem

Try connecting your phone to the back of your PC in one of the USB ports. Do not use the front ones.
Then when you run the Update utility right click on it and RUN as Administrator.
Hope that works.

That's quite hypocritical, saying that you hate people breaking forum rules then swearing and calling another member an idiot. If you're going to flame him (as I indeed was about to as well, but in a much nicer way), at least help him too, and just warn him about the mistake and report the thread for maintenance.
@ OP, what exactly are you trying to do? From what I understand, you already have MAGLDR and you're trying to flash MAGLDR again? There isn't any point to that, from here onwards the steps are to flash CWM with the right partition, then your desired ROM. Follow this guide.

Copy Pasting the half of the first post doesn't help us finding out what the problem is, Respect the people who spend time helping you out without getting anything!
So, Here is what you did:
You HSPL'd your device,
Installed Magldr,
Booted the device and pressed "USB Flasher"
Connected device to the pc, and tried to install the software but got a readme error?
Well I have that sometimes, but I just can go further.. Very strange.
Make sure to sync your fone with activesync for windows xp or windows mobile device in windows vista or 7. u cant flash MAGLDR without syncing your fone
Give a thanks if you found this helpful

not accurate.
The word 'sync' makes people think you have to actually get a connection to activesync/wmdc the program,,,,,, you don't.
put the phone into bootloader (stripey screen) connect usb, when serial becomes usb, thats an activesync connection and you can flash. activesync teh program will not show a connection when you do this. the line ''get an activesync connection'' has been confusing people for years.
